Specimen not shown: embryonic day 17.5; Fgfr2tm2.3Dsn/Fgfr2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS25: coronal suture Present Staining was less intense in hemizygotes.

Specimen 5K: embryonic day 18.5 (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: sternebra Strong Regionally restricted 5K Strong label was detected on the periosteal region of each sternebrae.
TS26: xiphisternum Present Regionally restricted 5K Expression was detected on the periphery of the xiphoid process.

Specimen 5L: embryonic day 18.5; Fgfr2tm2.3Dsn/Fgfr2+ (more )
Structure Level Pattern Image Note
TS26: sternebra Strong Regionally restricted 5L Strong label was detected on the periosteal region of each sternebrae. Expression was also detected in the hemi-sternebrae medial rims in hemizygotes.
TS26: xiphisternum Present Regionally restricted 5L Expression was detected in the periphery of the xiphoid process, which was bifurcated in hemizygotes.
